Feature Request / UX Improvement: Ability to reorder collection properties and fields manually

Hi Adalo Team,

I’m reaching out to share a piece of feedback regarding the database collection editor UX.

Currently, collection properties and fields are displayed in an unordered or automatically sorted way that makes it very difficult to manage structured data efficiently. For example, when organizing business hours sequentially (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, etc.), Adalo displays them completely mixed up (e.g., jumping from Monday to Thursday, then Tuesday, and Saturday).
As developers managing complex databases with multiple properties, it becomes extremely hard to navigate, audit, and visualize records quickly.

Feature Request: Could you please consider adding the ability for developers to manually reorder properties/fields inside collections (via drag-and-drop or a sorting option)? Being able to group related fields logically (like keeping all days of the week together in chronological order) would drastically improve the daily development workflow and database organization.
